Removal of seats and carpet

Last weekend I spent half a day removing all of the interior of the car. My last mr2 had a similar damp smell as this one, and I'm going to try to get rid of it.

I removed both seats, then pulled out the carpet, and firewall padding. There was a small amount of dirt underneath the passenger carpet, and quite a lot underneath the drivers side. The drivers side also had a hole in the carpet, which probably contributed to the dirt under the carpet, and the small patch of surface rust.


Passenger side:


Drivers side:



There is a small amount of surface rust on right of the footwell - that other browish stuff is fishoil...



One of the previous owners must have spent a long time removing panels and fish-oiling everything in site. The more I remove stuff, the more I see fish oil....
Even the roof underneath the roof material was fish oiled...


The rear firewall is pretty clean:



Next I'll spend some time cleaning out the floor panel and checking more closely for signs of rust.
